The campsites are large and roomy. The restrooms were clean. The beach area is nice and has an ample swimming area. The Hosts were friendly. This campground gets a lot of use throughout the season, so the sites are barren of vegetation and can get dusty during dry periods.

If you don't mind traveling 8 miles on gravel, dusty roads into and out of the Tally Lake campground location and dealing with the dust that gets stirred up by the vehicles coming and going which made the roadside sites very dusty and not pleasant, then you will likely enjoy the lake, beach area and small boat launch for water fun. The roads inside the campground are also gravel which contributes to the dust issue.
The campground is landscaped with tall Larch trees. Some campsites are available with pull-thru for larger RV's.
Not much privacy throughout the otherwise clean campground. Site 28 was nice, however, fairly open, next to the roads, and dusty. Hosts were accommodating, pit bathrooms were clean and overall a secluded campground.

Tally Lake campground is a familiar site with us. Some of the reasons we’ve camped here for the last 40+ years is because of wide gravel parking pads, both back in and pull trough. The toilets are freshened daily! Water is nearby, huge campfire rings, and a clean area when you arrive. The beach is grassy with tables and benches. It has a open mowed area for huge groups or a football or beach ball game. A beautiful area far enough out of town to relax.
